Working for us

Wales Air Ambulance is the all-Wales charity that provides vital air
cover for time critical illness or injury. We’re on standby every single
day of the year, ready to help anyone in Wales during their most
difficult hour of need.

We also operate the Children's Wales Air Ambulance,
providing specialist treatment and airlifting some of Wales’ youngest
patients.

awareness within Wales’ diverse communities is a vital part of reaching
that goal. We also run 18 shops and a cafe, which provide essential
income to keep the charity’s helicopters in the air and saving lives.
